End of the Year, Snow Flowers. 岁末·雪花

【七律】岁末·雪花

 

常逢佳日客天涯，偶用冰心铸素花。

岁末有诗随雪雁，年终无酒对红茶。

飘飘洒洒满寰宇，点点滴滴聚皓沙。

漫步苍茫无所以，黑衣带雪好还家。

 

End of the Year, Snow Flowers

 

I often spend holidays

on a faraway land,

among snow or sand.

Crystal hearts,

snow flowers,

not so rare,

but always grand.

 

At the end of the year,

let my new poems fly away

with the snow geese.

At the end of the year,

no wine, only red tea.

What's gonna stay

is my inner peace.

 

Snowflakes flying

up and down,

left and right,

all over the town.

Grain by grain,

bit by bit,

forming a white desert.

 

Wandering in the vastness

needs no purpose,

needs no reason,

as mind gets carried away.

My black clothes

are covered with snow

when I return.
